Ghana | Infectious diseases | Health system strengthening

The Centre for Health System Strengthening (CfHSS) project aims to enhance the sample referral system for epidemic-prone infectious disease testing in Ghana. By developing, testing and implementing a mobile-based application, this initiative seeks to streamline the referral process, enabling primary health centers to efficiently request and transport samples to specialized laboratories. The app will provide real-time tracking and updates, reducing delays in diagnosis and treatment. This approach will not only increase the volume of referred samples but also improve turnaround times for test results, thereby strengthening the overall healthcare response to infectious disease outbreaks.
